[Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Acupuncture]
Gu Borong washed his hands without saying a word and started cooking the meat.
There are no seasonings at home, but this is meat, and it tastes delicious even if it is cooked in plain water.
He got some water and put the meat into the pot to cook.
After thinking about it, he poured a small bowl of rice that Cheng Liyan and the others brought yesterday into the pot and cooked them together.
Looking at the pot filled with meat and rice, the three boys all swallowed their saliva hard.
Xiao Si hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Grandpa, isn't this meat made into oil?"
He remembered seeing other people cut off the fat and make oil from the meat after buying it, and the lard smelled so delicious!
Gu Borong was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the fat could be used to make oil.
Before he was defeated, he was a man devoted to the study of medicine.
I don't care at all about eating and drinking.
He has been eating in the cafeteria for decades and doesn't know how to cook at all.
Nowadays, being able to cook food is already good enough, but wanting to make it delicious is simply impossible.
Therefore, he was totally unfamiliar with these little tricks for daily life at home.
But the meat had already been put into the pot, and oil was already oozing out on the surface of the water.
In this situation, it was difficult for Gu Borong to take out the meat.
He waved his hand and said generously, "No more practicing, just eat like this! Wait until your three brothers come back, and Grandpa will give you each a big piece of fat meat so you can eat your fill!"
These three boys all smiled happily.
With three guys watching him, Gu Borong didn't have to worry about the things on the fire. He went alone to the innermost part of the room where the bed was placed.
He lifted the side of the bed and pulled out a small package wrapped in oilcloth from underneath, then took out a set of silver needles that were inside.
It was obvious that the silver needle had been used for some time.
But those who use it cherish it and take good care of it.
Gu Borong took out the silver needle, and then carefully rubbed it with his hands, his eyes gentle, as if he was facing his lover...
When Cheng Liyan returned home at noon, his wife had not yet finished work. Then he saw a piece of meat soaking in cold water in the kitchen sink.
There was a note next to it, asking him to deliver it to Old Man Gu.
Cheng Liyan knew that his wife was too anxious and didn't know how to relieve it.
He did as he was told and delivered the meat under the scorching sun.
Cheng Liyan originally thought that this was the end of it, but when Shen Yuyao came back in the afternoon, she actually brought back several pieces of defective cloth.
You can tell from the colors that they are all suitable for boys.
There is no doubt that this is prepared for the three guys in that room.
Cheng Liyan seemed to be hesitant to speak, but when he saw Shen Yuyao's serious expression, he swallowed his words back.
He felt that the old man would probably refuse to accept it.
After dinner, when it got a little darker, the couple went to Gu Borong's house again.
When they arrived, they saw a faint light through the crack in the door, and they knew that the old man was waiting for them.
After opening the door, Gu Borong gave the herbs to the two people.
The herbs have been sorted by him, all in portions and pre-configured.
The two types are separated, and the hemp ropes are all tied in different ways.
Gu Borong spoke in a very friendly manner today, and was very serious and detailed when explaining the precautions to them.
Shen Yuyao felt relieved after hearing these words.
When they were about to leave after taking the medicine, Gu Borong asked Cheng Liyan, "Are you afraid of needles?"
Are you afraid of needles?
What does Cheng Liyan think is the problem?
He is a soldier and is not afraid of swords and guns. How could he be afraid of needles?
So without even thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "Don't be afraid."
Gu Borong nodded, then motioned to him: "Then come here, I'll give you two injections."
After saying that, he pointed to the bench next to him and asked Cheng Liyan to sit down. He then took out two candle ends that were only slightly longer than his fingers from the cabinet beside the bed.
Gu Borong lit all the candles and fixed them on a wooden board next to the bench that served as a table. The room suddenly became brighter.
Gu Borong opened his precious needle box, then carefully took out a small bottle of alcohol and wiped the silver needles one by one. Then, before Cheng Liyan could react, he picked up a four-inch long needle and inserted it into the center of his head.
Shen Yuyao didn't even dare to blink, staring at the old man's movements without blinking.
The old man's movements were as fast as lightning.
It only took a few minutes and Cheng Liyan's head was pierced into a hedgehog.
After all the needles were inserted, Gu Borong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the two people, "This is to pay you back for the meat you had at noon. If you think it's okay, you can come three times a week, each time for half an hour."
He glanced at his two candles and added, "Try to come at daybreak."
Shen Yuyao couldn't help laughing, knowing that the old man was disgusted that his candles were wasted because of them.
She smiled and agreed.
Cheng Liyan has been sitting obediently since he had the acupuncture.
At the beginning, Shen Yuyao asked him a few questions, but was later stopped by Old Man Gu.
Old Man Gu told him to speak less and calm down.
This one sentence made Shen Yuyao no longer dare to say anything to him.
The injection takes half an hour, and it's really awkward to sit there like this all the time.
Shen Yuyao's gaze fell on the three little kids who were lying on the bed pretending to be asleep but occasionally opened one eye to glance at them.
She took out the cloth she brought today from her bag and said to Gu Borong, "Mr. Gu, I happened to see the department store selling defective cloth today, and I thought this color was quite suitable for three children, so I bought some.
Do you mind if I take their measurements?"
Gu Borong looked at Shen Yuyao, then at the neatly folded stack of cloth in her hand, and couldn't help but fall into a struggle.
The summer is almost over and autumn is coming soon.
Not to mention these three boys, even the older ones should buy new clothes.
But it's not that he doesn't have the ability now.
But... after receiving such a valuable gift, how can I return it?
Today's medicine can barely make up for the food delivered yesterday.
He planned to use free acupuncture to offset the piece of meat he got in the afternoon.
But if you add these fabrics...
Gu Borong hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "After you finish this course of medicine, you don't have to pay for the next course of medicine."
